I am soon to complete buying a house in Sonning Common but as a result of damage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the current proprietors in the sum of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Lloyds will not permit this. Should they have been involved?
Your property lawyer being on a Lloyds approved list is obliged to advise Lloyds of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to notify the price change to Lloyds then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Lloyds and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Sonning Common.
It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Sonning Common completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Sonning Common differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Sonning Common come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Sonning Common tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Sonning Common or who has acted in the same development.
